"Come on let's go into town. Can we go clubbing please. You all brought your fake ID's right?" Bea asks as she sifts through her clothes.
"I did." I say with a small nod.
"Yeah same." Callie says with a half smile.
"I mean it might be nice. Just for a little while." I say with a small shrug of my shoulders. Bea grins excitedly. She grabs out a sparkly miniskirt and a green silk tank.
I nod at the outfit and shuffle through my clothes. I didn't bring a lot but I did pack a clubbing outfit. Just in case.
A pair of black skinny jeans with a simple belt with a white lace bodysuit with my strappy black heels. I brush my hair and pull it into two Dutch braids, pulling a few baby strands free framing my face. I do my makeup simply, a little more eyeshadow than I would normally wear.
Once I'm finished I flip onto the bed and wait for the others. I hear a knock on the door and in walks Seth and Luke.
"Hellos ladies how are- wow where are we off to?" Luke says energetically as he walks in, his eyes widening at Bea's view.
"Your going out?" Seth asks scrunching his eyebrows together sadly.
"Clubbing." Bea informs adding a touch of mascara to her lashes.
"Your too young." Seth states blatantly standing in the doorway.
"Fake ID's" Callie answers flashing hers. Seth looks towards me as I sit up, adjusting my top. His eyes widen.
"Damn. I wanted you all to myself tonight, I waited the whole surf to come back and hang out with you." Seth says with a pout as he flops onto me pushing me back onto the bed, holding his weight off me carefully.
"Well.." I start staring into his green eyes.
"Seth. Don't guilt the girl into staying with you." Bea states standing up and dropping a quick kiss onto Luke's lips.
"I'm sorry. But your telling me, that Lace gets to leave the house, go clubbing, looking like a fucking sex goddess and I have to stay home knowing she's out clubbing?" Seth groans burying his face into my stomach.
"I'm not drinking. And I'll be home early." I tell him running my hand through his hair.
"But early is like 1am." Seth moans.
"Well I'm not usually asleep by then anyway." I say trying to ease his annoyance.
"I know. Was kind of counting on it." He says smirking up at me. I raise my eyebrows and pinch his nose ever so slightly.
"No thank you. Did not need to hear about anything implying a sex life between you two." Bea says gagging.
"Shhh Bea. They're so cute." Callie says smiling at us softly. I chuckle and roll my eyes.
"Ok. Get off me." I say tapping Seths shoulders.
"But the clubs don't open until 10. It's only 8:30." Seth moans shaking his head.
"Ok but scooch I want to get more comfy." I say. He smirks as he stands up. I stand and nod to the bed. He pulls a face then jumps onto it with a mischievous grin.
"I'm dating a five year old." I say shaking my head as I collapse into his open arms. I hover above his face and stick out my tongue at him.
"Pretty sure I'm not the five year old here." He replies with a smirk. I roll my eyes.
"How was your surf?" I ask him, tracing my finger around his face. Running my thumb across his soft lips.

"Bad. I mean it was good I guess. Good mate Lukey and I had a good chat." Seth says flicking Luke a grin. I chuckle and begin making faces with Seths face by squishing it up.
"Your a bit amused aren't you." He says grinning at the small smile that plays on my face as I squish his face.
"Shhh. You look like Gollum." I say chuckling to myself.
"You are gollum." Seth replies, as clear as he can with his smooshed face.
"Thought I was a sex goddess." I say with a smirk.
"Ahh she listens." He says tugging on my ear softly.
"Only to the good stuff." I say rolling my eyes.
"You are such a loser." Seth says shaking his head with a smirk as I let his face go, returning to trace his features.
"Baby you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. Your not a loser. Well you are but you can't call yourself one only I can." I say fake sweetly in response.
"Your my loser." Seth says with a knowing smirk at the sappy shit he just said.
"Ew. Who would want to be your loser. She must be an incredibly amazing person." I say with a cocky smirk.
"She's alright." He says with a thoughtful gaze before chuckling. My mouth drops open.
"I'm just kidding. She's amazing." He says kissing my lips softly inbetweeen chuckles.
"PDA please ladies." Bea says holding her hand up to not look at us.
"Sorry." I say apologetically wincing. Callie flops onto the bed beside us and as does Luke who is half watching be finishing getting ready.
We chatter for a while a few others coming in and out. Finally we decided to leave. Grabbing our ID's and saying out goodbyes.
"I'll be back later." I say planting a lingering kiss on Seth's lips.
"Hurry back." He says with a small smile, his hands resting on my waist.
"I will." I say with a small chuckle at his earnest.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do, and please don't get drunk, don't let anyone else get you a drink, and if you do have a few drinks don't put it down unsupervised and remember to cover it." Seth tells me protectively.
"Yes father." I say rolling my eyes jokingly. Planting another quick kiss on the tip of his nose before pulling away.
We make our way out of the house, into the Uber that we ordered.
"Okay are we drinking ladies?" Bea asks adjusting her top as we sit in the back on the Uber.
"Nope I'm not." I say with a shake of my head.
"Maybe a few." Callie says with a small shrug.
"Yeah me too. If any of us have to leave at anytime you have to inform both the others." Bea says with a firm nod to each of us.
"You reckon our ID's will work then?" I ask them.
"They've worked before." Callie says with a small smirk. I chuckle and nod.
After the Uber drops us along a main street, we climb out all adjusting our selves after the short car ride.
"Okay which one are we going to?" Bea asks as we look down the road seeing three short lines out of semi-bustling night clubs.
"Didn't we decide on Eve?" I ask pointing to the one we had located and chosen on google maps.
"Yeah the lines a bit long though." Callie says wincing.

"That means it's a good club." I say with a small shrug as we begin to walk towards it. We join the back of the line, looking forwards to see if anyone was being let it. People slowly were. The ID's and bags were being checked.
I only had a small clutch which held my phone in it. And an emergency stick of lipgloss. The line slowly creeps forwards and finally it's us.
"Okay how long do you think we'll be here for?" Callie asks as she hands her ID to the bouncer.
"I'm only going to be here for a little while I think." I say handing mine to the second bouncer.
"I could be here all night. But I'll go home with either one who leaves last." Bea says as Callie and I's ID's are passed back to us and we are let in. We wait back for Bea as I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding in.
Bea joins us as we make our way inside. The music is blasting and it's pretty full for 10:40. Callie nods towards the bar and I follow her, Bea tagging along beside me.
We stop at a small bar table, standing only, as Callie goes off to get Bea and her an alcoholic drink and me a non alcoholic.
"What's your plan for tomorrow?" I ask Bea.
"Don't really have one. Was considering going up the Sevenson heads trail? But might leave that until our last full day here." Bea says with a small shrug. "How about you?" She asks.
"No plans. A surf possibly sometime tomorrow." I say thinking to myself.
"Yeah it's meant to be a super nice day tomorrow so it'll be good to go." Bea agrees with a nod.
"Okay. So I have two cranberry vodkas and for you Lacey just some cranberry juice." Callie says sliding me a tallish glass.
"Thanks Cal." I say with a grin taking a small sip. We chat and laugh for a while, just as we down our drinks.
"Looks like Callies got an admirer." Bea says nudging Callie with her elbow. Callie rolls her eyes.
"As if." She says with a halfhearted chuckle.
"No for real. Blondie tall and tan. Seven o'clock." Bea says taking a sly sip of her drink. Callie looks around as I spot the guy. He smirks at Callie and then says a quick word to the group of guys he's with who look over.
He makes his way towards the table as Bea and I raise our eyebrows at Callie.
"Hello ladies, how are we this evening?" He asks politely.
"Good thank you." Bea, Callie and I awkwardly respond.
"How are you?" Callie asks with a small smile.
"I'm great thanks. My friends and I were just wondering if you wanted to join us in a booth we have reserved for the evening?" He asks, more directed at Callie, with a small smile.
"I mean we could join you for a bit sure." Callie says with a smile.
"Awesome. I'm Hadley, you are?" He asks politely as we begin to make our way towards the boys booth, drinks in hand
I hate meeting new people in these sorts of situations. It's so awkward lmao.
"Callie, these are my friends Lacey and Bea." She says nodding to each of us.
"Lovely to meet you." He says with a small nod. "These are my boys. Alex, Davy and Landon." He says nodding to the three boys.
"This is Callie, Bea and Lacey." He says introducing us. I wave and smile softly before Hadley offers us to slide into the circular booth. I sit on the edge of the booth comfortably.
Callie and Hadley launch into flirty conversation as the other boys make polite conversation with us. I don't really take part in the conversation, tracing the rim of my cranberry juice thinking about getting back to Seth.
I'm sure he would not be impressed if I was talking to these boys.
A body slides in besides me and my head whips around. Alex, one of the guys has slid into the seat besides me.
"Hi." He says with a small smile.
"Uh hi." I reply somewhat politely.
"You okay? You look a bit uncomfortable?" He asks me.
"Not my scene." I say gesturing around me. I mean it was, just not the whole new people thing.
"Ahh, not a party girl then?" He asks pointing to my drink.
"No I am. Just not an extreme clubbing sort of girl this evening." I say with a small nod.
"Ahh why's that?" He asks me curiously. "Pregnant?" He asks jokingly. I chuckle nervously with a shake of my head.
"Not quite." I say jokingly with a half roll of my eyes.
"Lacey was the captain of the cheer team and the captain of the soccer team." Bea says to the guys she is politely talking to.
"Wow impressive huh." Alex says raising his eyebrows at me. I shake my head.
"Callies the proper cheerleader. Bea is the best soccer player. I'm just, here for the ride." I say with a small chuckle.
"I'm sure. Too captaincies sure says your just here for the ride." Alex says with a pffftt.
"No really." I exclaim.
"Lace." I hear a voice say. My head instantly snaps up and I see Seth walking over to the table rather, on edge. Luke and Dallas close behind.
"Seth." I say my smile pulling into a grin. I move past Alex with an apologetic excuse me. Before wrapping my arms around Seth. He pulls me in for a long kiss, before I pull away. Fully aware of the company we are in.
"Get bores without me?" I ask him with a small smirk.
"Something like that." He says with a shrug, glancing behind me.
"Meet some people we've met." I tell him.
"Seth this is Landon, Davy, Hadley and Alex. Boys this is Seth, Luke and Dallas." I say gesturing between the boys.
"Nice to meet you." Alex says standing up and shaking Luke's hand cautiously, before offering his hand to Seth who stares at it like it's a foreign object.
I judge Seth who takes it and shakes it firmly. A look passing between them.
"Boyfriend?" Alex asks me as the boys move to pull up a chair. I nod with a small smile. Alex nods in understanding. Before his eyes linger on Dallas for a bit too long.
My eyebrows shoot up. I glance down at his attire and notice he's well put together which I hadn't noticed earlier, his hair was neatly combed back, almost too clean to be, straight?
"Do you want me to properly introduce you two?" I ask him cautiously. Alex turns slightly red before he nods.
"Dallas come chat with Alex. I feel like y'all might get along." I say nodding to Alex who is going pinker by the second. Dallas nods and takes my seat. How I didn't pick up on that earlier I couldn't tell.
I move over to Seths seat and perch myself on his lap, leaning back against him.
"Is Alex gay?" Seth whispers in my ear.
"I don't know. He was eyeing up Dal and I made an assumption but I don't actually know for sure." I reply.
"Oops." Seth says with a small chuckle.
"What?" I ask him confused.
"I was pissed at him for making you laugh." Seth says grimacing.
"Someone a bit jealous?" I ask him with a smirk. He plants a quick kiss on my neck.
"Possibly." Seth replies hesitantly.
"Want to get out of here?" I ask him carefully.
"Absolutely." Seth replies with a small grin.
"Alright. We're going to head out. If you need me call me please. Keep an eye out for each other." I say motherly kissing them all on the cheeks before grabbing Seths hand.
"Bye. Love you." They call after us.
"Is anyone at the boys house at the moment?" I ask Seth with a small smile.
"Last I heard everyone's at the girls drinking." Seth says with a welcoming grin.
"Lucky us." I say as we get into a taxi.
"Absolutely lucky us." Seth says with a chuckle scoohing into the taxi behind me.
